Huh.
There was a time when this would have distressed me. But at this point I'm thinking: eh, the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
Or to put it another way, the devil that you know to be more or less ideologically aligned with you is better than the devils that you know to be aligned diametrically opposite.
I'm still uncomfortable with close family members of former presidents running themselves, but hey, they've been doing that almost since the very beginning, so I guess it's kind of silly of me to start complaining about it now.
Regardless of what happens, I really hope Steve King from Iowa doesn't get the GOP nomination, because not only is he crazy but he shares a name with the author, and so every time I see it I get momentarily confused, and then I get disappointed. Now I understand how Monty Python fans felt when Sarah Palin was in the mix.
